Hello,
Why would visuals disappear from an image in Jux upon reloading a parameter file? And is there anything I can do to prevent this or, better yet, restore the original?
I am thinking in particular of the "hypnotic circle" type shapes in some Julia sets. Maybe there is a more appropriate term for them, they're the tunnel-like stacks of interior-colour circles.
I don't understand the math of fractals that well so there are still a number of parameters I fundamentally don't understand, and I don't know of anything in computing that would change if you left the parameters exactly the same. I am using the free version of Jux.
Here's what happened. I used the "classic" formula (z = z squared + c) to zoom in on a promising "minibrot". This was at a zoom level of 12,328 – see Image 1 attached.
I then did a Julia jump to an area where I saw a circle/circles. If I'm not mistaken, this resets the zoom level. I moved around until I found an area where there was a series of hypno circles at different zoom levels. Zoom level was now around 2,995 – see Image 2.
I followed the circles, smaller and smaller, and then zoomed in on an exterior-colour (white) area next to one of them. After zooming enough, inside of that area started appearing a strange cluster of several hypnotic circles. I thought this would be interesting to make some art. I could adjust it to make it look like a character of sorts. At the right position the circles lined up to create a kind of lopsided body and face.
Actually, it went very well. I spent quite some time adjusting lighting and colour. But when I reopened the parameter file, the cluster of hypno circles was gone! This was at a zoom level of 13,402 – see Image 3 (note I had changed the colour scheme by then).
If lost, I'd have to redo the image, but I'd still like to know how to prevent visuals disappearing in the future.
